Head-to-head comparisons
What to check before you buy
- The table price is for the seller's default length. Pick the length you need on the product page and the price will change.
- For 220V strips pick an EU plug. 12V or 24V strips need a matching power supply; check whether it is included.
- Check the color temperature (warm, neutral or cool) before ordering.
FAQ
COB vs regular LED strip?
On a COB strip the chips sit very close under a uniform coating, so the light looks like a continuous line. On a regular SMD strip you see separate dots, especially without a diffuser.
220V or USB strip?
A 220V strip plugs into the wall with its own plug and suits long runs. A 5V USB strip suits short runs, for example behind a TV, powered from its USB port. Hard-wiring a 220V strip into the wall needs an electrician.
